Alright so I'm planning on building a 10ft pvc rail so can practice and what not in my backyard. I was wondering what materials I would all need and how much of them. Pictures of what you have would also really help too. Thanks for the help in advance.

10 feet is pretty short, ideal length is around 15 ft

I find it pretty easy to wing it a lot of the times. Just by a pvc tube or two of ten ft or more, a 4X4 to make the legs, a 2X4 to screw the rail into, a box of screws and maybe another 2X4 to make supports.

Don't buy msnow. Get some orange construction fence and then use two layers of it for the drop in, it's crazy fast. Then for the lip make sure you use just turf or carpet so that you can edge without sliding out. Trust me I've had to change my setup a crazy amount of times because I couldn't get enough speed and this works the best
